The Rules Rule

In working with this wiki, Fairlie students need to ensure that they follow these important guidelines. They are designed to make sure that you enjoy these spaces.
  • Only ever use your first name or a nickname when you are writing on this or other blogs or wikis
  • Never use any other student’s last name
  • Never post any personal information–such as your home phone number or home address on this or any other blog or wiki
  • Never share any of your usernames or passwords with anyone and never log in as another student
  • Always tell your parents or teacher right away if you come across anything that makes you feel uncomfortable
  • Remember the “grandma rule” that anything you put on the internet could be read by your grandmother, so only write things you could say to the nicest of grannies
  • Be a good online citizen and never write or post anything that could hurt anyone else
  • Always check with an adult if someone asks for your phone number or to meet you
  • Never make arrangements to meet anyone over the internet without telling your parents
  • Make sure you publish only your own work. Don’t under any circumstances use other people’s work and call it your own
  • Make sure that you read over your writing before you post it to check the spelling and that it reads okay
